The girl, clad in white, stood atop a towering rock, swaying gently in the mountain breeze. She held a long flute, truly giving the impression of a fairy descending to the mortal realm.
At this mont, the girl's brow was furrowed as she looked coldly at a few people, her face evidently filled with anger.
Ye Qingxuan said, "Young lady, these two were rely sparring, please don't take offense."
The girl glanced at them and said, "Sparring? You claim to spar, yet it ans fighting to the death."
Li Shutong also said, "The young lady misunderstands, they were just sparring, not fighting to the death."
The girl snorted coldly and said to Cui Lingyun, "If I hadn't intervened early, you wouldn't know how you were knocked off the cliff."
Everyone was taken aback, as Li Qingxuan and others never expected Ling Zhenfei to be so formidable.
The girl continued, "At your age, you still can't beat a youngster, yet you dare to fight? You gave it your all just now, but he was at ease, clearly not wanting to lower himself to your level.
You've lived so long and still can't see that you're outmatched, yet you still want to fight? It's truly pathetic and lantable.
This is Wuliang Mountain, and you are all guest elders invited by us at Wuliang Mountain. Regardless of past grievances, you must abide by our Wuliang Mountain rules while here.
If you want to fight, wait until you return from the Foreign Land Space; you may fight then. But you are about to enter the Foreign Land with us. Any disloyalty will adversely affect our action.
Such incidents must not happen, and if they do happen, then I'm sorry, but we will have to impose severe punishnt."
This girl, though young, had a gaze carrying an icy ruthlessness, and her aura was imposing, clearly not an ordinary person.
Moreover, the girl's strength was extraordinary, as evidenced by the pinecone she used to break up the fight just now.
The girl showed a frosty deanor as if ice surrounded her. Even though Cui Lingyun's hair was white, he dared not utter a word under her reprimand.
In the cultivation world, strength is supre. It doesn't matter how experienced or old one is; if you lack strength, there's nothing to be said.
After she finished speaking, the girl suddenly lifted herself, her slender body floating gently upwards and quickly disappearing from their sight.
Ye Qingxuan said in surprise, "This girl looks barely over twenty, and yet she is so strong!"
Xiao Hai remarked, "Indeed, just the aerial technique she displayed shows strength that ordinary people cannot possess."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Seniors, do you think this young lady has reached the Pursue Heart State?"
Though Ling Zhenfei had just engaged in a fierce battle with Cui Lingyun, no one ntioned it, almost as if it hadn't happened.
Li Qingxuan said, "I don't know about the Pursue Heart State, for I haven't reached it myself, but I suppose even if she's not there yet, she's close, just a step away."
Cui Lingyun asked, "Do you think she might have reached that level?"
Ling Zhenfei was puzzled, unsure what level they ant by 'that level.'
Li Shutong asked, "Do you an the level that can reach the Pursue Heart State at any mont?"
Cui Lingyun replied, "Yes, that is what we cultivators call The Threshold Realm."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised; this was the first he had heard of such a realm, as he had just reached this level himself.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Seniors, why does such a realm exist?"
Xiao Hai said, "This realm is, of course, not officially recognized. If you would like to know, I can tell you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then please tell , as I'm very eager to know."
Xiao Hai explained, "Actually, this matter is quite interesting. Everyone knows that above the Dawen Realm is the Pursue Heart State. There are no other realms between the two.
However, reaching the Pursue Heart State is not easy. To reach that state from the Dawen Realm, one must face the Heavenly Tribulation.
But as we know, crossing tribulations are incredibly difficult, not sothing one can just decide to do. So many choose to conceal their strength at the Dawen Realm, temporarily not advancing to the Pursue Heart State.
However, their strength has reached the Dawen Peak, and because they can reach the Pursue Heart State at any mont, it is called The Threshold Realm."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I see, so if they have the strength to reach the Dawen Realm, they surely can't remain there forever. How will they advance to the Pursue Heart State?"
Ye Qingxuan said, "It's very simple; they either find a few strong individuals to help them cross the tribulation or..."
Li Shutong said, "There's another easier way, which is to go to the Foreign Land Space."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised upon hearing this: "Indeed, going to the Foreign Land Space.
Because of the differences between the cultivators here and there, in the Foreign Land Space, advancing from the Dawen Realm to the Pursue Heart State does not require crossing tribulations. This is why so many in the Dawen Realm go to the Foreign Land."
After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was deeply shocked. Reaching the Pursue Heart State without needing to face tribulations in the Foreign Land Space was akin to an enormous boost of confidence for him.
Ling Zhenfei had been pondering about crossing his tribulation for days. Coming to this Wuliang Mountain, he wanted to find soone to help him cross to the Pursue Heart State.
Unexpectedly, he found the answer here—no need for tribulations in the Foreign Land Space. This was indeed excellent news for Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei said, "So many skilled in the Dawen Realm enter the Foreign Land Space aiming to reach Dawen Peak, then smoothly enter the Pursue Heart State, right?"
Xiao Hai replied, "Exactly, that's the reason so many in the later stages of the Dawen Realm flock to the Foreign Land Space."
Ling Zhenfei said, "But the Foreign Land Space is not an easy place. A careless mistake could cost soone their life."
Xiao Hai said, "Yes, that's true, but as they say, 'A man dies in pursuit of wealth as birds perish for food.' Cultivators strive for the next realm, no matter the cost."
At this point, Li Shutong asked, "Do you know why they call this realm The Threshold Realm?"
Ling Zhenfei was curious to hear what he would say, so despite having his own ideas, he kept silent.
Ling Zhenfei shook his head, indicating he didn't know, just to hear Li Shutong's explanation.
Li Shutong said, "In ancient tis, nearly everyone was a cultivator. In the era when cultivators were as nurous as clouds and raindrops, the Pursue Heart State was the gateway for cultivators.
Only by reaching the Pursue Heart State did a person officially begin their cultivation path. But as ti went by, cultivators beca rarer and eventually more like endangered species.
